Synopsis
In this memoir, a woman explains how her husband's personality changed after he suffered from a traumatic brain injury. Once an intellectual with a taste for obscure foreign films, he became a idiotic fan of children's mediocre cartoons who masturbated in public. In describing his long-term rehabilitation, she reveals the emotional tolls such healing processes take on patients' families.

Publisher's Note
In 1996 Cathy Crimmins and her husband, Alan, were on and idyllic lakeside holiday when a boating accident changed their lives forever. Alan had been a successful attorney, a connoisseur of wine, art, and exotic food. The accident left him in a deep coma, with severe damage to the frontal lobes of his brain--the areas that control speech, memory, movement, and personality. WHERE IS THE MANGO PRINCESS? is the story of what happened to Cathy and her family after Alan woke up, and of their sudden descent into a world that--like the world in Oliver sack's AWAKENINGS--was so energetically nutty, so acrobatic in its dysfunction, that Cathy's record of their days in the hospital and beyond is as much filled with laughter as it is with anguish. A powerful, funny book--terrifically life-affirming even in its darkest moments.
